The District of Columbia

It is COLD here! it is 70 degrees or so at home and it is probably 10 degrees here. A 60 degree drop is a huge drop for someone to encounter. It started snowing while we were looking at some of the buildings downtown and it was snowing when we came out. It was amazing, I have never seen REAL snow that didnt melt when it hit the ground or turninto ice instantly or be so dry and thin and scarce it is not worth calling it snow. I love snow, it is beautiful, COLD, but beautiful. We went to the Smithsonian Museum of American Indians for lunch and yeah, it was 9.00 or more for 3 chicken strips, and a small boat of fries and a drink... and it was 9.50 if you got bottled water! It was expensive but I didnt have to pay for it so it is all good. Then me and my classmates walked, in the snow, a LONG way to the museum of American History and it was AWESOME! We saw THE original Kermit the frog, and Fonzy's jacket, and a piece of the berlin wall, and it was just amazing, they had everything! And then we walked back. Tomorrow we are seeing the hope diamond in the natural history museum and some planes and stuff in the Air and Space museum. We also went to the Spy Museum which you think, c'mon, that is stupid, a museum about spies, did you learn about Austin Powers? As a matter of fact, yes! we learned about how he gives spies a bad name and it seriously made you think that every other person you saw was a spy! I am so paranoid now. Lol. But it was awesome. Tomorrow is the inauguration and the parade and we are going to the ford museum to see a satirist instead of hanging out w/ a bunch of nerdy GT kids from across the country... which is awesome! lol. I have to give it to Morris and Choat, they are good at planning stuff. I think our bus driver is a spy. lol. Anyway, I am tired and I have to go to bed. Adios fellow... well, people I guess... fellow humans... lol. Lata!
OH WAIT, I almost forgot, my two friends MIGHT be getting together.. and when I say might, i mean, almost definately! I am so excited for them! They are so cute!!! OMG. lol. anyway, I will update more on that as time progresses. Anyway, lata ya'll
